Call me crazy, but I kind of thought that Alan Cumming was mostly straight. Sure, I knew he had sex with men, but I thought that his bisexuality swung more towards lady-love than dong-love. I was wrong. Alan has been with the same dude for years and years. They had a civil partnership ceremony five years ago, and for their anniversary, they just got married!!! Mazel tov!

Actor Alan Cumming has married his long-time love Grant Shaffer for the second time. The couple celebrated the fifth anniversary of their civil partnership in London by exchanging vows in New York this weekend.

The 46-year-old Scot revealed the news on Twitter, writing: ‘I just got married!’ He posted a picture of the overjoyed couple embracing after the nuptials, held at the Soho Grand Hotel. In the picture, Cumming and Shaffer are seen smiling and hugging while their are applauded by their friends and family.

The Good Wife star wrote later: ‘On the 5th anniversary of our wedding in London Grant and I tied the knot again in NYC!!! #eatmericksantorum’

His message ‘Eat me Rick Santorum’ refers to the candidate Republican nomination for president, who is vocal in his opposition to gay marriage.

The couple, who reside in New York, were first married at the Old Royal Naval College Greenwich on January 7, 2007 after two years of dating. At 21, Cumming married his RSADA classmate Hilary Lyon. They split eight years later, and Cumming was later engaged to his Circle of Friends co-star Saffron Burrows.

The X Men star, who was awarded an OBE in 2009, has labelled himself as bisexual in previous interviews. Speaking to Oasis magazine in 2007, he said it had always been known among his inner circle, but he felt the need to ‘come out’ publicly.

‘It was all sort of there, but when you become more famous then you realize you’ve got to say something… just to clarify it and talk about it, and make sure it was talked about in terms that I approved of because people try and claim you, I think. The gay community tries to claim you, the straight community tries to claim you. But I felt that was more for press stuff, because I just felt I was being misrepresented a lot of the time, mostly with people saying I was straight. It is confusing for people because I’d been married before. Now I’m married again, to a man, but I’d been married to a woman, and gone out with women. And then, I hadn’t really had regular relationships with men, long-term ones, I mean. But amongst my friends, amongst people I’d known, I was always bisexual.’

You know what? I would still hit it like a house on fire. I think Alan is so sexy, and he seems like a hoot too. I’m strangely happy to learn that he’s been in a committed relationship with the same man for so long, though – and it’s so amazing that Alan and Grant were finally able to marry. Yay! Oh, and EAT ME RICK SANTORUM.

PS… I can’t even describe how much pleasure I got from these photos. Alan’s eye makeup is so much better than Duchess Kate’s.

Ah…Alan…he and Rupert used to be my dream sly Brit Menage…til Rupert went all…YUCKY on me!!!ßlaçkŵhÎte´ρlanet–čˇō/Μthe most effective place in the world to connect with, to find intimate encounters.There you may easily have free contact with charming girls or handsome men….Hope you like it!Good luck!
++++++Life is short. Enjoy yourself.Anytime I see Alan is in anything, I watch it. Yeah, I love Alan Cumming. Always have.

Because he was married to a woman before ? Because his marriage broke up because he had an affair with another woman ? Two very good reasons for believing he was into the ladies – and possibly still is.

He was married to a woman for 8 years, and had other long, romantic relationships with women throughout his life, as well as men.

Alan Cumming is the best example of an out bisexual male celebrity I know. His dating history is perfectly split. You cannot credibly say he isn’t bi. A human being cannot possibly be more bisexual than this person.

His life is awesome. It is a giant middle finger to socially-reinforced sexuality boundaries.

Kaiser I’m so glad to know I’m not alone in my Alan Cummings love. I’ve always found him sexy and thought maybe I was just weird. As for whether he desires men or women more, it’s possible he leans more towards women but fell in love with one man. Although, I’ve never had the impression he was into women.

Edited to add: I just saw ponytail’s explanation of his formerly womanizing ways. I had no idea, but I still say it’s possible to find your soulmate in a gender you didn’t expect.

I have always loved Alan Cumming. For so many years. He is the presenter for Masterpiece Mystery, and even if I didn’t want to watch the show, I must see his presentation. It always tickles me to death. Anytime I see Alan is in anything, I watch it. Yeah, I love Alan Cumming. Always have.
